There have been several alternate versions of this film. Will there be any on this new disc, or just the theatrical cut?

Hi
Any chance of a Kino release of the 1970 French gangster classic 'Borsalino' with Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo?
The sequel, 'Borsalino and co', has been available for years but I've never sighted the original.

KL Insider: Thanks for all the hard work you do responding to questions and posting updates. Just wanted to let you know that I recently finished watching Diamonds for Breakfast and while it was a complete blind buy I thoroughly enjoyed it. Marcello Mastroianni was at his usual best and the one scene in particular that I thought was hilarious was when he and the Soviet agent in charge of the jewels engage in a tap dancing face off and then become apparent best friends! The PQ was wonderful. Great release!

I found two Ninas, but without the artist's signature I dunno how many there are supposed to be.

Mumford (1999) with optional English subtitles
• NEW Interview with Director Lawrence Kasdan
• Making-of Featurette
• 5.1 and 2.0 Audio Options
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 111 Minutes 2.35:1 Rated R
From writer/director Lawrence Kasdan, the creator Body Heat, The Big Chill, Silverado, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon. When a wanna-be psychologist, curiously named Mumford (Loren Dean, Space Cowboys) comes to the idyllic town of the same name, he offers his talent for listening and a disarming frankness as the town’s quirkiest citizens scramble for a seat on his couch. As he lightens hearts darkened by old secrets—including those of the beautiful and troubled Sofie Crisp (Hope Davis, About Schmidt)—no one realizes he’s hiding a whopper of his own, or that he’s fallen head over heels for one of his patients. Filled with personality disorders, surprises, offbeat alliances and some hilarious fantasies, Mumford is just what the laugh doctor ordered. The wonderful cast includes Jason Lee (Chasing Amy), Mary McDonnell (Dances with Wolves), David Paymer (Get Shorty), Martin Short (¡Three Amigos!), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Wild at Heart), Alfre Woodard (Cross Creek), Jane Adams (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Priscilla Barnes (TV’s Three’s Company), Ted Danson (TV’s Cheers), Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer), Elisabeth Moss (TV’s The Handmaid’s Tale), Robert Stack (Airplane!) and Kevin Tighe (Road House).

Three.

 

[Rodney]

I've never seen Mumford, but it looks interesting!

 

[bujaki]

3 Ninas is correct. Thanks, Scott.

 

[Dan_Shane]

Three.

He must have really gotten clever with the third one -- I'm not seeing it.

The Champagne Murders (1967) with optional English subtitles
• Audio Commentary by Film Historians Howard S. Berger and Nathaniel Thompson
• Trailers From Hell with Tim Hunter
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 98 Minutes 2.35:1 Not Rated
From Claude Chabrol, the legendary director of Les Bonnes Femmes, Les Biches, Betty and L’Enfer. This stylish psychological thriller has such labyrinthine plotting that many critics, upon the film’s original release, found it too confusing. Christine Belling (Yvonne Furneaux, La Dolce Vita) tries to convince her husband’s friend Paul Wagner (Maurice Ronet, The Unfaithful Wife) to sell his venerable champagne business to an American company and asks her husband Chris (Anthony Perkins, Psycho) to persuade the stubborn Paul. While on a trip to Hamburg, Paul picks up a girl in a restaurant—the next morning, the girl turns up dead, and Paul can’t remember what happened. Chris, who becomes aware of the incident, promptly tells his wife, and she tries to blackmail Paul into signing a deal with the Americans. But when another woman turns up dead, and again Paul is the last person to see her alive, Paul begins questioning his own sanity. Legendary actress Stéphane Audran (Babette’s Feast) and great character actor Henry Jones (Support Your Local Sheriff!) co-star in this Hitchcockian thriller beautifully shot in Scope by Jean Rabier (Cold Sweat, Madame Bovary).

1) The creases in the shoulder of Nolte’s jacket
2) The upswept hair on the side of Hepburn’s head
3) The small stems above the flowers on the brim of Hepburn’s hat

How did you know to look for “nina” in the picture and who is “Nina”?

The artist's (Hirschfield) daughter.

Does he do that in each drawing?

Does he do that in each drawing?

Ever since she was born, her name has appeared in the vast majority of his drawings.
